Mryoda
Tom do you ever do events in England
TomAngleberger
I went on England for a week long book tour last year. It was amazing! Probably won’t be back soon, though….
Mryoda
Hey Tom just to let you know I love d new book and website but this is my question do you ever make odd looking origami and still be ok with it
TomAngleberger
ALL the time! Most of my origami is odd looking. You should see all the stormtroopers I went through before I got to the final one!
Briantheboy123
Tom, what are the teams for?
TomAngleberger
Just for fun! You will not be asked to fight each other like in the Hunger Games.
Will
Good. I don’t want most of us to die.
JabbaThePuppett
Can I post instructions from the old site?
TomAngleberger
Yes!
JabbaThePuppett
AWESOME!
SFMicah
Hi Tom! It’s me, Micah! I really hope you get this because I tried to email you but got an automated message back. :-/
I saw that you are doing a book tour for Jabba and wanted to give you 10 great reasons to come to the Pacific Northwest!
10. People here are super nice!
9. It isn’t super hot like the places in the south you are going.
8. It is really beautiful here!
7. The food is great here, especially if you like seafood!
6. The Pacific Ocean is amazing!
5. We have a perfect bookstore in Portland called Powell’s!
4. You are extra famous here because of The Yoda Project!
3. There’s lots of awesome history here!
2. There are lots of outside activities here, and it smells really good!
And the number 1 reason: You could meet Marcus and I!
TomAngleberger
Those are great reasons, Micah, especially #1.
Unfortunately I was just at Powells in Portland recently — you were probably busy folding Yodas — so I won’t make it back for awhile.

I totally figured out how to make a TIE pilot!
TomAngleberger
We’d LOVE to see that!
Will
Actually there’s two versions.. one’s like the stormtrooper in Art-2 colored different, but the other one that I made I haven’t made as a TIE pilot yet! I’ve only made a Clone pilot from Ep. 3 because I don’t have black paper yet but he’s the exact same fold.
pogglethelesser11
here are some of the jedi i would like you to fold, aayla secura, shaak ti, agen kolar, lumiara unduli, plo koon, ki adi mundi,stass allie,and of course foldy wan
pogglethelesser11
never mind
TomAngleberger
Never mind? I was about to do them! Actually, I was more likely to suggest that you make them and send them in! I hope you do!
Magicman
i have done lumanara and foldy wan!
pogglethelesser11
try to make an origami Saesee Tiin please he is one of my favorite characters
TomAngleberger
That would be stooky!
OrigamiMax
hey! i think its STOOKY getting to talk to you! Hey, I REALLY want to know how to fold…
(drumroll)
JAR JAR BINKS!!!
I know it’s embarrasing, but he’s my favorite Episode 1 Character! Can u teach me how? Thanks!
pogglethelesser11
i like him to
TomAngleberger
Yes, in fact we have JarJar instructions floating around on the old site somewhere. I need to move them over here!
Will
yeah, for may the fourth ( which, stookily enough, happens to be my birthday!)
pogglethelesser11
hey tom I’m john THARP my dad owns Tharp funeral home i hope you will like my emperor papertine fold i love all of your books and have gotten my friends to make an origami club i owe you everything .
JabbaThePuppett
That’s cool, but ummm, why did say PURPLE on a couple of questions?
pogglethelesser11
its what dwight says
JabbaThePuppett
But you said you were JOHN Tharp
pogglethelesser11
i am
JabbaThePuppett
But thatis different from DWIGHT THARP. Dwight’s Mom has a last name called Tharp but SHE doesn’t say PURPLE
pogglethelesser11
Dwight says purple when he is nervous
JabbaThePuppett
Soooooo…. are you nervous?
pogglethelesser11
no
JabbaThePuppett
Then why did you say purple?
TomAngleberger
John!
Cool last name!
Purple!
TheEvilJawa
I can’t wait to see you tomorrow Tom! I have LOTS of stuff…
TomAngleberger
I can’t wait to see it! I’ll get some good pictures hopefully!
TheEvilJawa
Yep! I got a new phone, so I’ll be taking QUITE a few photos (if you don’t mind, of course. 🙂 )
FoldyWanKenobi
Where did you get the Jabba paper?
TomAngleberger
Originally from AC Moore craft store. But I went back later and couldn’t find more. There is a similar paper at Michaels. Look in the scrapbook aisle.
James
stooky site also when will tour come to VT?
TomAngleberger
I’d love to go to Vermont. What’s your closest bookstore. I’ve done at least one store up there before…. I think!
JabbaThePuppett
When will HOW TO FOLD be avalible?
JabbaThePuppett
And one other thing: Can I post some of your instructions from the old site, or is that bad?
TomAngleberger
It is sort of available now. With Crumb plus links to my videos.
SFteamroker
Hey Tom, how can we send you videos if you don’t do email anymore?
TomAngleberger
Still working on that one!
Brioboy1
Can you put mace windu instrux sometime soon?
Magicman

Brioboy1
What will the new book be, what will the character be
JabbaThePuppett

pogglethelesser11

Hewhowalkstheskys
Hey, Mr. Tom! Jabba the puppet was STOOKTACULAR! Best book in the series! You were right, Kellen did go crazy with the drawings! I can’t wait for the sequel (When you put the release date online, I’m gonna write it on my calendar for the spirng. Yeah calendars!)!!!

Shelgon
Mega Evolutions…….HOLY-! Salamence Mega come on! Hey Tom are you gonna make another OY book?
TomAngleberger
Yes! It;ll be out next spring!
Mega Evolutions sound pretty exciting, huh? What if EVERY Pokemon eventually learns to ME?
SkyYODA_28
Hey Tom I made an awesome new darth paper and my instructions make it have more room for the body
TomAngleberger
Cool! I want to see that!
SF_Reproman
I think that the next book should be on Admiral Ackbar or Boba Fett
TomAngleberger
Both sound like fun to me!

Hi I’m Kirtlan I send you that email and video did you like my winking Yoda?
TomAngleberger
I’m afraid I didn’t get it. I no longer receive the emails. This site is made so that email is not needed….
LegoGabe
Hey Tom, other SFs have been talking about cards coming with it. Are those the same ones. From the book signing? If so please them on the site because there weren’t anymore when I got up there. P.S. I really like the new doodle of me in the giant Yoda you put in my copy of OY.
TomAngleberger
Hey legoGabe!!!! It was great to meet you!
Yes, we had a few of the cards at the booksigning. I wish I had enough to give one to everybody!

This site is awsome! Just one question: how did you make yoda on the cover of the first book?
SkyYODA_28
He forgot how to fold it
crazySarah
Tom, a month or two or three ago, you went to a small, local bookstore in New York state call Liftbridge, because the town [Brockport] had a liftbridge. I was the oldest one there, and I got Fortune Wookie and Art2 signed. You were completely crazy. [In a good way.]
TomAngleberger
I remember you! But I thought YOU were the one who was completely crazy!
Maybe we both were! I’m glad I got to meet you!
crazySarah
I AM completely crazy! [And proud of it.] Right now I’m on vacation in Australia, but while submission was shut down, I invented ORIGAMI General Creasious, so when I get back home I’ll send instructions. I wish I read all your books, but I haven’t. Also, you show make a book of SF stuff… like the EU and ART2 combined!
SF_Kyle_Folden
There will be a sequel? right? oh and luke look awesome pls post instrux!
TomAngleberger
Yes! I think a SF will probably make Instrux for Luke!
SFteamroker
Hi SF_Kyle_Folden I have some instructions for Luke if you want you could check that out
Anakin88
Mr.Angleberger how do you make an Foldy Wan Kenobi like in the Jabba book?
PS:I totally love your books!!!
TomAngleberger
Probably a SF will make instrux…. maybe you!
SFteamroker
Hey Anakin! Sometime soon I will have instructions for foldy wan. So check back soon and you might find it I also have instructions for Luke skyfolder.
SF_CJ

TomAngleberger
Glad you like the new site!
SF_Pi
Also, where do you get the Jabba paper?
Jango_Fett
He got it from AC Moore
SF_Pi
Hey Tom, I saw the Fake Mustache references. So does that mean Mcquarrie is in/ near Hairsprinkle?
TomAngleberger
Yes!
crazySarah
Oh man… what if there was a crossover…
Spider55man
Hey Tom how do you put my origami in this site
TomAngleberger
See Art2D2 and the word Submission? Click there…
JabbaThePuppett
How do you make up the names, like Quavondo?
TomAngleberger
Actually, I knew somebody named Quavondo.
JabbaThePuppett
That’s neat! I know a friend named Aditya. I think that’s how you spell it… but he’s home where he is from.. India!
sfHULK

Shelgon
A few days ago I was digging in some of my old stuff and I found some Pokémon figures me and my brother had a little kids and I remembered that we had the figurines before we ever heard about the anime or games. so it turns out Shelgon wasn’t the first Pokémon I ever saw. It was Salamence himself. 🙂
